Shashi Tharoor drops ‘Mitron’ joke on Twitter; many including Anupam Kher are not amused

So, on March 5, Tharoor tweeted this : “From WhatsApp: Little girl asks Dad,”Do all fairy tales begin with the words ‘once upon a time’?Dad:”No.These days they begin with’Mitron” — what seems an obvious jibe on PM Narendra Modi and his infamous way of addressing the people. Kher was quick to notice the tweet and didn’t spare thoughts or mince words when he replied — “From WhatApp: Little girl asks Dad,” What’s the best description of ‘once upon a time’? Dad: ‘Congress’ Party!!!
